/ˈpeɪl.baʊnd/
adjective · etym: anglo-noemic · pale (faded colour) + -bound · used of objects and persons
tied to a colour that is no longer popular.
a kitchen can be palebound. a coat, a paperback, a brand of envelope. the palebound thing is not damaged; it is merely faithful — to a chart of paint samples that was fashionable in a particular winter, or to a film stock that stopped being made. one notices it the way one notices an accent that has moved out of the city.
persons can be palebound too, and often are. one's affection for a colour survives the colour's reputation. consult the garden for known instances, or the idolic entry for the related dignity of unfashionable objects.
in a sentence: "the corridor was palebound to a green no one had used since the seventies."
